Yeah but the difference with Cam Murray and other footballers is the big red thing inside his chest.
Short lunches only, in the COE coffee shop.
Has Richo or anyone else watched our lower grades play ?
Thought you had to have signed 30 players before 30 June - we only have 29?
Fair enough if that's your take BF and @Kaito .
I don't think someone who can defend "relatively brave" is our answer.. also if you want to mold a half into a lock then surely you do it with one of our existing halves?
I believe by the end of June all clubs have to have all top 30 spots filled. But I think if a player gets released after that date the club isn’t obligated to replace them. It’s something like that but normally end of June all 30 spots have to be filled. My guess is Faataape will get the last spot. Unless Turuva was allowed to come early but I doubt it.
I think as well he wants us to be a development club at least 95% if not 100%. Weird way of saying it I know, but I just think he wants to focus on the juniors coming through as there will have to be some good ones at least.
Based on the commentt about Souths it appears you have to
It was an assessment relating to concerns about his size. That is to say, despite being physically more akin to a small forward or a larger half, he is a brave defender, as in, puts his body on the line and hits quite well. The 'relatively' qualifier was due to the fact that, in the middle, he would often be tackling players 10/15kg heavier than him.
I'd say the majority of the smaller locks in todays game have a fair bit of mongrel though. I agree, you probably don't need mongrel if you have the size of a Yeo, but the smaller Murrays, Radleys and Mcinnes' of the game all make up for it elsewhere.
Plenty he can do.
I spose there's two ways to look at it. one is that we're going to promote from within and utilise what we have, the other is that we may have signed an additional player but it's been kept under wraps. Richo said in that particular interview that he did the deal with Turuva's manager weeks ago, so who knows?
Those upgrades are already factored in to our to 30 for next season (and there are no others banding the door down) we still have a few spots left for next year, and one for this year. Given some players are surely likely to leave early that will open up more roster spots. We will most definitely be signing numerous players from outside the club
Let’s hope Richo’s comments are from the Gus Goukd playbook of telling the media one thing and doing the opposite as it’s great to promote from within, but we simply do not have a roster capable of climbing the ladder without recruiting at least a few more external players that can improve our NRL line up.
You have to have 30 players by the deadline but you can upgrade from within to reach the 30.
